Shortly before 2:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 9, first responders from the Linkwood Volunteer Fire Department responded to a one-story Drawbridge Road home in Cambridge, when a passerby reported the blaze inside the residence.
Officials said it took a crew of 15 firefighters approximately 30 minutes to get control of the fire, and another half hour to contain any hotspots or flare-ups.
The house was destroyed in the process and the fire caused an estimated $80,000 in damage to the structure and $5,000 to its contents.
No injuries were reported.
Depute state fire marshals determined the fire started inside the home but its cause remains under investigation.
